Jamal: How could she just disappear? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hi. Officer, this is Jamal
Woods. I want to file a missing person report. Ok, yeah. Well, this girl I
came to pick up for a date, like, a dinner date and everything, and I showed up
and she wasn't here and her place was really, really messed up. No, no, of
course not, man. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I looked all around town. I did. I looked --
no, I'm serious, the place is a mess. This is not like a normal type of thing.
The place is a mess. I'm serious, this is not something --

Imani: Jamal.

Kevin: Bad news. More bad news. Hey. How was your run?

Lucy: Uh -- what?

Kevin: Your jog. How was it?

Lucy: It was great, thank you. I'm sorry, do you need something?

Kevin: No, no, the day nurse is still here.

Lucy: Good, good, I'm glad.

Kevin: Hey, Lucy? The other night, I was in a lot of pain.

Lucy: I -- I realize that. Don't worry, it was nothing.

Kevin: It's not nothing. I was taking all this out on you, and I'm sorry.

Lucy: No, no, don't "let me just" nothing. I need to talk to you right now,
because I thought about this all night and I should've told you last night, but
I couldn't because I couldn't quite wrap my head around what I need to tell you.

Ian: Slow down, slow down. What is it?

Lucy: It's about Kevin and the real reason he is here in our home. It's not
what we thought. In fact, I don't think it's what anybody would have ever
thought.

Ian: Wait. What are you talking about? I don't --

Lucy: Last night, remember, you told me to go out and get some air, so I went
to the park and I ran into Rafe. And I talked to him for quite a while and he
explained to me about Caleb's ring. Caleb's ring can grant wishes.

Ian: Grant what?

Lucy: It grants wishes. I know, I know. Whoever has the ring, the bearer of
the ring, whatever they ask for, that wish comes true. And it's great, it sounds
wonderful, but there's a catch. No matter if the wish is good or if the wish is
for evil, the people involved in the wish -- things go wrong. The ring turns on
them. Bad things can happen.

Ian: So who wished for Kevin to live with us?

Lucy: Christina. I don't know how she -- she found the ring, and that's a
long story, but she wished for her daddy to come live with us.

Ian: And the wish came true.

Lucy: But it nearly killed Kevin in the process.

Ian: Be careful what you wish for.

Lucy: I said the exact same thing to Rafe. What -- what does that mean?

Ian: It's one of the lyrics from Caleb's song, "be careful what you wish
for."

Lucy: Oh, my god, you're right. So all of this isn't just chance, is it? It's
not bad luck or happenstance. This means we're dealing with the devil.

Jack: No way, Livvie. Not again.

Rafe: Hey.

Jack: Hey.

Rafe: How'd last night go?

Jack: Well, I've had better.

Rafe: Yeah, well, listen, I want to talk to you about this whole thing with
you and Livvie.

Jack: No, no, not at the bar. Livvie almost busted us here the other night.

Jack: No, you and Jamal begged me to do this, Rafe. Now you're going to cut
me out?

Rafe: Yeah, that's right. Yes.

Jack: Who in the hell appointed you to decide this?

Rafe: Ok, hold on a second.

Jack: No, you hold on. I will stay involved in this, whether you have say so
or not.

Rafe: Well, you think you're playing Livvie, but you're the one being seduced.

Jack: Oh, what, you think I'm being sucked in by Livvie? You think I'm
conning myself? No, not a chance.

Rafe: No, you're not being seduced by Livvie. It's the ring. You want it for
yourself now, don't you?

Casey: The guy's face when you hit on red 22 -- we have got to go back. Baby,
can we go back, please, please?

Ricky: Yes, yes, we will, someday, ok? But Atlantic City is always going to
be there. Besides, Jamal's going to kill me for ripping off his bike.

Casey: I mean, not if you tell him you used it to blow off steam. He's going
to understand.

Ricky: Yeah, well, at least I'm returning it looking like brand-new.

Casey: Well, of course, you know, if you are worried about what he's going to
say, there's always Vegas.

Ricky: Casey, no, all right? The fun's over. I can't be a party animal
forever.

Reese: You can say that again.

Ricky: Reese.

Jack: Has anybody ever told you that you're paranoid, Rafe?

Rafe: No, I'm not paranoid. I'm telling you, this is what the ring does to
people.

Jack: Yeah, well, speak for yourself. I had the ring and I gave it back.

Rafe: Yeah, that was before you found out that it made wishes come true.

Jack: Yeah, so?

Rafe: So you're telling me that never crossed your mind? You know, what else
you would wish for, maybe make your life a little easier, get everything you
want -- namely Livvie?

Jack: You know what, get the hell out of here. Go. Get the hell out of here.

Rafe: Listen to me, listen to me, this ring, it's like a drug. One hit and
you're hooked. Everything you think you're getting out of it you're going to
lose twice as much.

Jack: You know what, I've been handling Livvie just fine, just fine. And you
know what, it feels good to kind of get her back. When she does get that ring,
you know what -- I might make a couple wishes, and there will not be a damn
thing that you can do about it.

Rafe: I wouldn't be so sure about that.

Jack: Oh, really? Well, what are you going to do, Rafe, kill me? Oh, Rafe.
Kind of makes you wonder who the real nut job is around here, huh?

Jamal: Imani, you want to talk about this?

Imani: Look, I'm sorry that I missed our date, and I'm sure that you must
have a lot of questions, but right now I'm tired and --

Jamal: Wait, come on, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop! You're sorry you missed
our date? You're sure I have a lot of questions? Imani, I kicked this door in.
Look, I come in here and this room is a mess. I go over to this window and I see
these scratch marks on the windowsill, like somebody couldn't wait to get the
hell out of here. You're gone all night, I'm going out of my mind looking for
you, ok, and then I find this in the woods, Imani.

Imani: Look, I'm sorry, I just --

Jamal: Just tell me what happened.

Imani: Nothing happened, ok? Look, I was getting ready for our date and I
heard a sound. I panicked and I just took off.

Jamal: Right. Right, that's why this room looks like it got hit by a tornado,
right?

Imani: I told you I panicked.

Jamal: Was it him? Was it him? Was he here?

Imani: No. I'm not lying to you.

Jamal: Then why did you have to get out of here in such a hurry? And how the
heck did you leave scratch marks like that in the windowsill?

Jamal: Look, Imani, just tell me the truth, ok? You did all this. You did
this. You did that and the scratches and everything. You did this. Just tell me
the truth.

Ricky: I can explain, all right?

Reese: Ricky, you stood me up. You vanished for days without telling anyone
where you were.

Ricky: Look, would you chill out for a second?

Reese: You were with Casey, weren't you?

Ricky: Reese, stop.

Reese: Just blew off everything, which is, you know, fine by me, but you even
dumped on the band.

Ricky: I didn't dump on the band.

Reese: Oh, really? Is that why I had to cover for you with Caleb? Because,
you know, spinning a lie to the big bat can be a bit risky on the neck.

Ricky: Listen to me, I didn't ask you to cover for me, all right? Besides, I
don't even know what you want me to do.

Reese: Well, you know a big "thank you" would be a nice thing, even a little
one. Then maybe you could come back to the real world with the rest of us
instead of hanging out with a dead girlfriend who no one can see but you.

Ricky: Look, you need to stop it, all right, because this is complicated.

Reese: No no, it's not. It's a fantasy. This is real.

Jack: Ok, Rafe, so what's the deal, you going to drive a stake through my
heart or are they just for vampires?

Rafe: You know what, killing you isn't exactly an option, but I would break a
couple of your bones to get the ring back. You don't know what you're dealing
with here, man.

Jack: Oh, and you do? You always do, right?

Rafe: Yeah, well, I've had a little more experience than you!

Jack: Right, because you're the vampire slayer, I mean, or the angel. Wait a
second, you're the ex-angel. Rafe, you don't live in heaven anymore.

Rafe: Ok, all I'm saying --

Jack: I don't care what you're saying. Who do you think you are, god himself?

Imani: Leave me alone, Jamal.

Jamal: No, Imani. Not a chance.

Imani: Don't make me lie to you, because I will. I have to.

Jamal: Why don't you just tell me the truth? Imani, I'm not going to freak
out on you, ok? You have nothing to be ashamed of. You're talking to me, ok, and
you remember what I am, right? Ok, how can your truth be any worse than that?

Imani: I thought he found me.

Jamal: The guy that's been following you, right?

Imani: Yes, I heard something. And I went there, there was nothing, nobody
there, and I locked the door and I just panicked. And this idea that I have to
keep looking over my shoulder, like I'm hiding, like I'm just some animal
trapped in a cage, and -- I ran. I just took off and I kept running, and I ran
till I couldn't run anymore.

Jamal: Was it him?

Imani: No. If he'd have been close, he would've found me. If he thinks I'm
alive, he won't stop. So he'll just keep coming, and I'll just keep running.

Imani: I've been doing this so long. The first thing that came to my mind was
just escape.

Jamal: Yeah. Been there, done that. I know what that's like when you want to
just run away from everything. I know. But look, do me a favor, ok? Don't run
away from me.

Imani: I don't want to involve you in this. You don't know this guy, and I
cannot ask you to make those risks.

Jamal: Shh, Imani, just stop. Don't you know by now?

Imani: Know what?

Jamal: I'd face anything for you.

Kevin: Can you see what the dog is holding between his paws?

Christina: A book.

Kevin: Yes, that's right! You know what -- sometimes, you can look them right
in the eye and you can tell what they're thinking, just like people. You just
have to listen really hard.

Christina: I like it when you're home with me, daddy.

Kevin: Oh, honey, I love every minute I get to spend with you.

Christina: You're going to be here forever, daddy.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Ian: Christina had Caleb's ring?

Lucy: She had it, and she somehow made that wish that Kevin would be here.
And I heard her. I did hear her say that. But that's not the only wish.

Ian: What do you mean it wasn't the only wish? What are you --

Lucy: Jamal. When I told you about this, when Jamal was here, remember, I was
so angry, so I kind of told him all about Kevin trying to get child services to
take Danny away --

Ian: I know, you told me that. Now, go on.

Lucy: Ok. Jamal must have had the ring. Because I told him I wished that that
horrible man that was Kevin would go back to being his -- the good one, the good
old self.

Ian: And that's when Kevin snapped out of it.

Lucy: Yeah. This could be really very bad.

Ian: Could be bad? This is -- anything Caleb touches is bad. And now what,
now there's a magic ring that can grant wishes? You kidding me?

Lucy: Exactly. And Christina touched it. My little girl held that ring and
she wished for her daddy to come live with us, and he almost died to make that
innocent little wish come true!

Ian: All right, hang on. If Kevin is here because of a wish and if all these
wishes turn bad because of Caleb, there's only one thing we can do. We need to
get him out of here today, now.

Imani: You mean that? That you would --

Jamal: Do anything for you? I'm here, aren't I?

Imani: It's just that I've never had anybody be there for me like that.

Jamal: Well, all that means is that this world is filled with a bunch of
blind idiots. Come here.

Imani: When I'm with you, I can almost forget that I have somebody following
me. The peace that you give me, it feels so good, like I can just pretend that
everything's ok and I'm ok and I'm just normal.

Jamal: Well, you deserve that 24/7.

Imani: Oh, god, I wish.

Jamal: No, no, no. Please, no wishes, ok? Just -- just fact here.
Everything's going to get a lot better as soon as you move into my place.

Imani: Jamal, I thought that we were clear about that.

Jamal: Yeah, you know, we're crystal-clear about, like, what happened, but
just not what to do about it.

Imani: But, Jamal, I told you, I don't want --

Jamal: No, no, seriously, Imani, I don't want to hear it, ok, not after
seeing how afraid you are after this guy that's been chasing you around.

Imani: But --

Jamal: No, no, just -- you're moving into my place or I'm bedding down at your
doorstep.

Jamal: What you doing?

Imani: You don't know what you're in for.

Jamal: I think I do.

Ricky: Whoa.

Reese: That's what kissing a real girl is like. So whenever you want, however
you want it, but you have to forget about that girl in your head.

Ricky: Look, Reese, it's not a dream, all right?

Reese: Listen, you're missing out on life, Ricky. That's not what you want,
not really. Which is why I have a big surprise for you. Come on.

Ricky: Wait, wait, wait. Where are we going?

Reese: Finally you're going to spend the whole day with me and I'm going to
show you.

Ricky: Look, I can't, all right? I got things to do, and besides, I still got
to think.

Reese: Think about what? I'm right here. You don't even want --

Ricky: Listen, I'll see you later, ok.

Reese: Wait, Ricky, wait! What a waste. Seeing a guy like that waste his time
on a girl who's gone, who can't even -- my god, where did that come from? I'm
out of here.

Rafe: Come here.

Jack: Get your hands off of me! What's wrong with you, man? I decide not to
do things your way, so you go off and hit me? Rafe, Rafe, the man with all the
answers. Unbelievable.

Rafe: I never said that.

Jack: I don't know how Alison deals with you.

Rafe: You leave her out of this, ok?

Jack: No, you walk around with all this self-righteous crap, trying to throw it
off on everybody else like it's going to do us some good.

Rafe: All right, you don't understand. This ring, it's dangerous. If we don't
get it away from Caleb --

Jack: Oh, what, we might have a little fantasy before you do? Rafe, you don't
need the ring. You have everything that anybody could possibly wish for. You're
just too stupid to see it and appreciate it.

Lucy: I can't do that. I just can't ask Kevin to leave.

Ian: You have to. Everything makes sense now, doesn't it kind of, with the
wish and --

Lucy: Do you know what does make sense? That kiss that happened on the picnic.
Remember? I told you, it came out of nowhere and it didn't mean anything. I saw
Christina playing with her dolls, and she must have made her dolls kiss. So I
was right, and you thought, you thought all along --

Ian: You don't know what I thought, I don't know what I thought, but I knew
it wasn't you. I was right.

Lucy: It wasn't me. I was right.

Ian: The fact remains that Caleb is involved in this somehow, and now Christina.

Lucy: Christina loves her daddy so much and she wants him at home.

Ian: This is our home, not his. This is ours.

Lucy: I know. I know. This whole thing is horrible. It's not making it any
easier for us, is it?

Ian: I know you want to do what's right for Christina, but maybe the thing
that's right for Kevin is to try to somehow undo this wish. I mean, it hasn't
done him any good so far.

Lucy: Yeah, you're right. But it's going to break her heart, and you know
it'll break his heart. It will. This is really hard.

Kevin: That's it, honey, you just sleep. And daddy will be here when you wake
up. Hush, little baby don't you cry daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird and if
that mockingbird don't sing daddy's gonna buy you a diamond ring.
